Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A transmission circuit for receiving at least one input signal and providing an output signal according to each of the input signals, the transmission circuit comprising: an edge detecting circuit for detecting rising edges or falling edges of each of the input signals and accordingly providing a detection signal; and a transmitter comprising: two driving circuits, each of the driving circuits having a corresponding input signal and a corresponding output node providing a current at the corresponding output node having a direction according to the corresponding input signal; two load units, each of the load units coupled to the corresponding output node and matching the output impedance of the corresponding output node; and a switch circuit coupled with each of the load units in series to each of the output nodes, wherein one end of each of the load units is coupled to the corresponding output node and the other end of each of the load units is coupled to the switch circuit, receiving the detection signals for controlling each of the load units to sink the current at each of the output nodes according to the detection signal.

2

2. The transmission circuit of claim 1 wherein the switch circuit comprises two switch units, and one end of each switch unit respectively is coupled to one of the two load units while the other end of each switch unit jointly is coupled to a common mode node.

3

3. The transmission circuit of claim 2 wherein the switch circuit further comprises a capacitor coupled to the common mode node for stabilizing the voltage of the common mode node.

4

4. The transmission circuit of claim 1 wherein the edge detecting circuit transforms the rising edges and falling edges of each input signal into a pulse of the detection signal.

5

5. The transmission circuit of claim 4 wherein when the switch circuit receives the pulse of the detection signal, each load unit stops sinking currents from each output node.

6

6. The transmission circuit of claim 1 wherein each driving circuit comprises two complementary driving units, both of the two driving units coupled to the corresponding output node of the driving circuit, and one of the two driving units is turned on for passing the current to the corresponding output node according to the input signal while the other one of the two driving units is turned off.

7

7. The transmission circuit of claim 1 wherein each load unit is a resistor.

8

8. A transmitter comprising: two driving circuits, each of the driving circuits having a corresponding input signal, a corresponding output node, and two driving units operating in a complementary manner and coupled to the corresponding output node, wherein one of the two driving units is turned on for passing a current to the corresponding output node with a corresponding direction according to the input signal while the other one of the two driving units is turned off; two load units coupled to the corresponding output node and matching the output impedance of the corresponding output node; and a switch circuit coupled with each of the load units in series to each of the output nodes, wherein one end of each of the load units is coupled to the corresponding output node and the other end of each of the load units is coupled to the switch circuit, receiving a detection signal for controlling each of the load units to sink the current at each of the output nodes according to the detection signal.

9

9. The transmitter of claim 8 wherein the switch circuit comprises two switch units, and one end of each switch unit respectively is coupled to one of the two load units while the other end of each switch unit jointly is coupled to a common mode node.

10

10. The transmitter of claim 9 wherein the switch circuit further comprises a capacitor coupled to the common mode node for stabilizing the voltage of the common mode node.

11

11. The transmitter of claim 9 wherein each of the switch units is an inductor.

12

12. The transmitter of claim 8 wherein the switch circuit comprises an inductor.

13

13. The transmitter of claim 8 wherein when the detection signal is provided by an edge detecting circuit according to rising edges and falling edges of each of the input signals.
